hedwards: As an ESL teacher, I heartily endorse anything that makes me more valuable to keep around.

F4LL0UT: You teach competitive gaming? Oh... the OTHER kind of ESL.

Wait, does that mean you won't teach someone English who already knows two other languages? Or do you just treat it as a second second language then?

tinyE: but I find that be it Americans, English, or British Canadians we aren't real big to the idea of meeting anyone on their side of the fence, or even half way; it's either, learn my language or leave me alone.

F4LL0UT: You haven't ever met a French person, have you? Fewer people know French than English and still they insist that everyone speaks French with them instead of learning another language themselves. Of course I'm acting a little ignorant on purpose here but there is some truth to it. :P
There is one loophole around this: if your French is of the "Terrible American Accent" variety, they will fall over themselves to avoid hearing you mangle it.

P1na: Not very exact. My own experience tells that the variety of the accent is not a concern, you either speak perfect French or you can go where the sun don't shine. Seriously, while on any other language I've studied people will be like "Cool, you speak a bit of XXXX" the stereotypical French person makes me not want to bother with their language ever again.

But more to the topic, it's a real pity that there's no more multilanguage support, specially when the original voice acting is one I understand (i.e. Spanish in Commandos: BEL)
Meh? In my experience in Paris, I had exactly one person be rude to me when I attempted to speak French to them. The rest either put up with my attempts to speak it or immediately switched to English to spare themselves the pain. :D
